Behind the Mic
Yeah, I think really the easiest way to understand it is, um, in an economy, you, you, you gain sales from people having bigger budgets and right now, consumption power across the planet is being, uh, lowered, well, through the instrument of inflation, essentially. So you're seeing every country's inflated their currencies, right? We, we had it with the Euro here in Spain, there's, you know, record inflation in the US, UK is another one. It's all countries across the planet so that the same product now costs more, which means people have less disposable incomes to put into things like, um, you know, holidays, sales in your business, all of these additional expenditures, and that's just putting it plainly in simple terms, right? Just the same bag of shopping you were paying last year is now costing a lot more. So in the, in that nutshell, this is the same thing with interest rates that are going up across the world now, it's also just lowering the, the purchasing power of that individual, that family in every country, trying to buy a house, people can't afford it on mortgage rates are high now, things like this. And that's just in simple, simple terms. So from a business perspective, you will see in a recessionary environment, one of the first things that goes is discretionary spend on services, unfortunately, because people are trying to tighten up into what they can afford. So it's, it's, that's in simplistic terms, but that's kind of why we see this cut across the world in terms of, um, the currency side of things, but at the same time, businesses are still thriving in this environment and particularly those in things like crypto, you know, new industries like AI, which are helping businesses, uh, cut their costs or grow new sales and seek new opportunities or save time in particular areas. And that’s where I see personally myself and in our business in terms of marketing and things like this, you need to go in and cut your overhead. So it's, it is a difficult environment, but there's a solution to it, right? But that's just all me waffling and brainstorming. But, um, that's what I currently see. No, I mean, touching on even the way, you know, right now, managing one, having a job, it's not good enough anymore, you know? Relying on it, trying to build multiple sources of income, trying to be financially literate more than ever, more than ever, 'cause at the end of the day, you're gonna get taxed the highest out of everyone, 'cause you don't have the incentives to avoid the tax legally, that is, but um, no I mean it's, the things you covered on, cryptocurrency, stock market, digital assets, I preach this thing heavily 'cause obviously it's changed my life in terms of the situation I was in a year before, personally myself, I'm a business owner myself and a year ago I was 20 grand down in debt, so personally and then as soon as I started winning in the market and that, it changed my life. You know people say it's luck, it's guesses, but it falls down to becoming the asset yourself, becoming valuable, which has allowed you to do so, and um, I mean, I just know, it's amazing to see the things you're doing and everything man, like anyone listens to this, I definitely would recommend tuning into the things man, these are some gems. Yeah, well ultimately, you said it there, you're gonna get taxed higher than the bigger guys, the institu, the companies, which holds true and they will go through another couple of tax cycles and you will see taxes go higher which might shock everybody, but be, believe me when I say that's what is happening now, it's in the IMF reports it's everywhere, they want higher taxation because that's the way that governments keep their budgets afloat and don't drown in record debt. Now while they inflate the debt, they're going to enforce higher taxation. So it's a double-edged sword that is coming and, you know, that is going to be a thing, there'll be higher income tax rates everywhere across the world, so from your perspective, and that's why we situate ourselves with getting people into, you know, sound assets, whether it's crypto, whether it's digital assets, precious metals as well, you know, things that are more modern right now to help essentially hedge and get ahead of this inflationary environment like you said there. So that's it. I think, um, that's why you have to be an asset now more than ever, right? And, you know, it's a difficult environment out there. So you need to build multiple streams and better sources of income and make sure you know your skillset. I want to expand on what you've just said there. It's made me think of a question. So what you said about looking at this, um, how you would go about this, what would you say has changed your, when you're talking about skills there, I think it's really crucial. What do you feel has been the biggest skill that you've developed since coming into crypto or even from your forex background that's allowed you to kind of, you know, build a business around it? Oh man, um, forex, forex was a vital experience. It taught me how to build a business from scratch, which forces you to grow up very quickly. Uh, I spent 3, 3-4 years working for that firm in Australia, and it was before coming back to Europe to do work over here. Environment's very similar. Uh, but I think at first it was dealing with seeing people lose a lot of money and, and that is it does make you, it does it, it makes you numb to the whole situation, right? Like you see it and you feel it, and it makes you more relentless in your endeavors. And then when it came to crypto, it was different because I started helping so many businesses around the world that were growing and flourishing in this new industry back in 2016-17. The real, real heyday, you know? And I think just it teaches you to be more disciplined, more, more, uh, comfortable with how you go about things and also balance the greed. There's a lot of people that come along to take part in your business and you have to watch out for these crazy guys, you know? It's like trying to balance that greed out whilst building a business, you know? And I think being more relentless has been a massive part of that overall journey. So having that hunger for wanting to grow further, wanting to keep going. I think that's been a big thing. But if, if you want the forefront skill, man, I'd say learning how to invest is, is great. If you can do that, that's superb. But learning how to build relationships first, you know, going out there and helping people. That is what really stands out. And when you're in a bear market or a recession market, if you've still got really good friends you can rely on and trust, partners, you're always going to be Somebody Like Mike Tyson said in his podcast, right? Warriors win wars. I mean, in what sense do you mean sounds like building a community around you, mentors say? Uh yeah, like going beyond the contract, going beyond the business and saying let's build relationships and let's build really strong partnerships. Let's go out and help as many people as we can and build their business and install confidence in people that join along the way. And I think it's really that powerful aspect that makes the biggest difference for people long term and going forward. Because you know it's great having money in the account and making a lot of quick wins and trading in the markets or doing business deals. But if you don't help more than just yourself, you know over time it does come back around. And it's these bear markets where these rainy days you find those people that you thought were friends you thought were partners that end up being the ones that leave you out dry in the cold and behind. So yeah, it really does, it really shines a light. The hard thing about that is, is that you just don't see that when there's a bull market or when everybody's doing well. Yeah, you're sipping, you're sipping on drinks or you're kind of popping bottles with strangers essentially. But when down to the core they won't be beside you when essentially things do hit the fan. Because it can go up parabolically but it can come down twice as quick. And a lot of people forget that. That's why true relationship and you hear that all the time but you gotta build a community around people. Like you said, like even yourself man. I saw the things you've done over the last year, the incubators, the awards, the recognition as well right from dawn, like a lot of things as well like those are things that you celebrate. Celebrate the wins of yourself but of others as well right. And I kind of respect that man. It’s good. Definitely, man. I mean, I want to say, you touched on a few points there where it was like, uh, you know, build those relationships over time. But how, how do you go about this? Are you saying that you bring partners in because it's value terms, right? Or you see this going forward three to six months and how do you stay on track with the projects if someone, for example, if one of these partners fall off, if they tick off what you do in that type of situation with your experience. Yeah, I think it's both. You said really well it is value terms. If you are able to consistently conduct good value to the people you're trying to serve, it should, it should always fall back onto these people to respect what you're doing. Like we have loads of people come and go in the project. We see people that will pick something up and they have a lot of marvels and ideas about how they'll be a great success. And usually, you know, 12, 18 months on, even now, um, even earlier, if they've fallen out, you'll see them leave but the good ones will stay with you, right? And always the common denominator is value. Value, value, value is all it is. If you wanna consistently put something together for people, like when it's from our standpoint is marketing, if you are marketing their business well, they will stay loyal. They'll love you for it. If you're helping them save cost or time on things. So like the names we went with for more data going beyond just the commercial aspect going into thought leadership, going into helping them build their sales funnel or something like this is so super important. And I think that's why it's finding that balance of consistently adding that value. And that's why when people have those setbacks like what you're saying they go to the next project. Maybe it's impacted their lives again and ultimately they remember you for how you did originally. Those people that stay along the way who say, 'Hey, we want to work with you again, we want to do things later on because’ ‘you were there for them.’ It's huge, man, it's a big part of the game. And it's hard to deliver because you know as well as I do, you might not make that cash flow early on or might not make those returns, but you have to take those setbacks for the future possibility that you will. And that’s, that's where it kind of balances out over time. Now in relation to the video of the youtube I watched, my game's completely different to be honest, right now, my business is, I'm running an agency right now, a video editing agency. And I've got some clients, and I also have some employees. I've been leveraging video editing. So honestly, right now, I don't. I have no idea about cryptocurrency. I just know cryptocurrency, but I'm not sure how it works. But it's my plan. It has always been my plan to get into the crypto industry. Right now, I just have to focus on my current business. But eventually, when everything's. When the money starts coming in, when I'm starting to, when I am successful with this, then I think it's time to, you know, invest in crypto. And. Yeah, I'm not really familiar with crypto. That's why I joined this space. And I've been hearing some terms that I don't understand, and my only question is, I'm really interested in all this stuff, and I really am looking for some books to read about crypto or the system and about how the money works in the world. So what do you guys recommend that I should read, you know. Spot on man. Good to hear. I think probably a book that a lot would be recommended is the one you mentioned earlier the psychology of money by Morgan Housel. I think that one personally that's helped me shape a lot and it's easy everyone can say rich dad poor dad because that teaches you financial literacy but I feel like the psychology of money definitely teaches you to build your character around money because at the end of the day it's an inanimate object. It's like the wind you can't see it you just know it's there um because at the end of the day we're the most important how we value ourselves is what ultimately it'll affect how our finances go so I think that's a probably a great book to start on and it covers all concepts it's really easy to read like everyone I recommend it so far they've never had anything bad to say and I think it's just one of those where you need to, uh, yeah, build in your knowledge of finance in general before you get into cryptocurrency, stocks, equities, digital assets. So yeah, I'd definitely say The Psychology of Money first. And you know what? I would say someone that we follow quite, you know, intensely on YouTube is Ray Dalio because I think he's very simplistic in the way he breaks down the macro environment. So Joe, what you're saying there, it's like given the kind of, I'd say the viewing eye of how you see the banking system, how, how the mechanic of the, how the economy works in general. And starting from that video, you can understand better how money works. That's a great shout. His book, principles, is very good as well. If you haven't read that book, Ray Dalio, principles is a game changer. Yeah, I completely forgot about those ones. But these are all on YouTube, and there's so many good ones out there. So just take your time. Allocate an hour a day, try and dive into it. It will change the way you think about how you run your business and how you shape your financial future. So it's important to understand that before you create your goals so you can make sure that you're making the right decisions. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you for sharing. Joe, can you send me the name of the person so that I can. Watch the video? I dm you with the link and the name. Yeah. Thank you. And also, Jerry, thank you for recommending the, the psychology of money. I actually have the book right now, but I haven't read it, and it's already on my list. But I haven't read it, so I know it's a great book, and I know that I'll learn a lot from that. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Nice. Well, Jared, I'm gonna have to roll in a couple of minutes, but I thought that was awesome, man. It's super fun. We just spent the first half just kind of chatting about the world we're in the system and talking about crypto finance, so that was super fun. We'll probably do a few more of these over time, but, yeah, I guess. Thanks for tuning in. And, Jared, anything you want to wrap up with. Buy bitcoin. There you have it. Not financial advice. No. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. There was quite a lot of nuggets in there, and as you said, we'll be doing many more of these in the future. So if you have any topics or other questions, just add us on Twitter, drop us a DM, and we'll be sure to include them in the next ones. Sounds like a plan. Well, thanks so much for tuning in, guys. And Jared. Till the next one. All the best. Have a good weekend. Take care. Behave yourself. Ciao.
